Sept. 12 crowds in Washington dwarfed Associated Press estimates

Now I understand why your newspaper is dying. A historic event took place in our nation’s capital on 9/12 and all you could do is copy an article from the Associated Press which was, at best, inaccurate, and, at worst, a total misrepresentation of the entire event.

I went to the MSU/CMU football game on Saturday. The attendance was upwards of 76,000. What I saw in photographs and videos of ’D.C. dwarfed the crowds I saw in Lansing that afternoon. If what I witnessed at the game was 76,000, I can conservatively estimate the event in Washington to be 10 times that figure.

Police estimate 1.2 million in attendance. The Department of Parks and Recreation estimated 1.2 million. AP reports tens of thousands. What do you report? What AP reports.

Look, I’m not stupid and neither are your subscribers. You put out a liberal rag, and like other rags, your readership is wiping their backsides with it.
